Write A poem about this picture I took.... words seem to fail me.



Simply write a poem that compliments this photo I shot in New Orleans several summers back. Let the people in this window tell a story, or set the mood for what is seen. Let your mind be the vagrant outside the glass, much like I felt I was. Step outside the box in which they dwell, and just tell what you feel, Use abstract, rhyme, surreal, or any form that will please the photographer. The winner's poem will be posted on my page, and cherished. It looks very much like a famous painting in which Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn Monroe are captured in the window of a late night diner. See where this window in time takes you?

Please put your A.P./author name in the author's notes, check your spelling and get inspired. Thanks~~Artis
